Are Europeans pedophiles?

265 replies

In Europe the legal age for sex is really low - like 14 in Germany, Portugal, Italy and Austria. In Spain its 13!!!1 This means a 40 year old man can legally have sex with a 14 year old as long as it is consensual (without coercion etc).

Does this mean the Europeans are pedophiles? Does it mean it's legal to be a pedophile in Europe?

Really?

We not only think it's ok, we encourage it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love a bit of porny homopaedophilcareay on Albion's fair shores. That and the monarchy.

US spelling: check
Dog whistle reference to 'families': check
Poor grasp of geography: check

How about you take a look at the problems in your own country before you start finding fault with ours?

So you Brits think it's OK for a 25 year old to have sex with a 16 year old? How about a 13 year old? That's only 3 years difference.

" I think Europe is brainwashing the UK and making it a bad place for families. "

Presumably you would also class us Brits as Europeans.

Just sayin'

Hmm

Paedophiles aren't, by definition, attracted to 13-yr olds. They are attracted to pre-pubescent children.

I'm guessing by your spelling that you are American - would you class us Brits (age of consent 16) as being 'pedophiles' too?

You are missing my point.

Any man over 25 who wants sex with teenage girls is sick. The age of consent in the UK is too low at 16 anyway. I think Europe is brainwashing the UK and making it a bad place for families.

it's pedophile in US English though (feel helpful today)

Sunnywithachanceofshowers · 07/06/2012 16:25

Top tip: the word is 'paedophile' not 'pedophile'.

0/10

Alameda · 07/06/2012 16:17

but paedos like pre-pubescent children don't they, I've forgotten the word you're looking for to describe preference for young adults/adolescents but is not paedophilia anyway

Yes, every one of them.
